The rise of "Rurouni Kenshin" was not only influential in the original, but also a man- action director Kenji Tanigaki, "a man who changed Japanese action movies." Kenji Tanigaki, under the tutelage of Donnie Yen, is the only Japanese member of the Hong Kong Action Stunt Actors Union. Years of experience in the Zhen family class has taught Kenji Tanigaki a lot of the essence of martial arts.
Zhen Jia Wuxue has two points: the moves are fierce and fierce, and the moves are strong and vigorous. These two points are consistent with the "Flying Imperial Sword Flow" of "Rurouni Kenshin" in certain aspects. "Feitianyujianliu" emphasizes "fast, accurate and ruthless". Among them, "fast" and "ruthless" have been practiced to the extreme. The move is invisible, a fatal blow.
The fast-paced killing array scene is based on one enemy and one hundred, wielding a sword and Devil May Cry.
Under the arrangement of Kenji Tanigaki, the ruthless moves that could only be seen in the second dimension have been reproduced one by one on the screen. If you don't understand the original work, and don't care about the plot, just want to be cool. It's worth just watching Kenji Tanigaki's play. And among all the actors, the most outstanding one is undoubtedly the absolute protagonist, Kenshin Gomura. It can be said that if you want to remake, if the casting is not good enough, the movie will basically collapse in half.
This point, director Otomo Keishi also understands. Until at the celebration banquet of the Dahe drama "The Legend of Ryoma", he saw Takeru Sato who was silent in the corner. Keishi Otomo invites Takeru Sato to play the role of Kenshin Himura, frightening the still cute Takeshi Sato. According to Sato Takeru's own words, for this drama, he bet on his career as an actor. After several months of grind under Kenji Tanigaki's hands, when Ken Sato was dressed in red, standing proudly far away under the cherry tree. The director behind the monitor burst into tears. At that moment, he seemed to see Jianxin rebirth.
Even though, today's Sato Takeru has become Japan's first-line male star. This time, "Ren Zhu Pian" is still as hard as it was nine years ago. Before shooting, it was familiar devil training again.
Inspired by him, all the actors in the crew have also been trained. The whole movie is made by the actors and stunt actors are rarely used.
As a netizen said: "Nothing in the world is perfect, except Kenshin Sato's Kenshin." "Rurouni Kenshin" won the title of Kenshin Sato. Fortunately.
The appearance and spirit are all the same, but one soul is missing. And it is this soul that is most difficult to condense and cultivate.
>>>>Inverse Blade
Kenshin of Feimun, the 14th generation descendant of Feitian Yujianliu. In order to save the common people, go down the mountain and become a warrior of the New Deal. A sharp sword is invincible, and wherever it goes, it is full of blood and bones. His appearance will always bring deathly awe-inspiring murderous aura. Everyone in the rivers and lakes was terrified and gave him the nickname: the executioner draws a sword.
Draw the sword to the villain, cleave the knife to save the chaotic world. At that time, Kenshin Himura believed that he was doing good deeds and doing good deeds. The deeper this belief is, the faster and harder the sword under his hand will be swung. Until that time to encircle the remnants. He beheaded a man and hurt a woman.
The two of them cried, making him suddenly realize that he is not a villain, the villain who kills the happiness of others. Is that man wrong? What's wrong? He is the same as himself, just fighting for the ideal world. That assassination was a turning point in his life.
Soon, the new world came, and the people celebrated. No one knows that all the dirty costs of this flourishing age have been imposed on Jian Xin.
The killings at the end of the shogunate are like insects. He was forced to ask himself every day: "After killing so many people, how should I live in the future? Or should I continue to live?" Kenshin Himura decided to become a ronin, forgetting the fearful name. "The Niblade knife is my oath not to kill." He held the Niblade in his hand and has since hidden into the world.
And all the evil fate has long been exhausted by his teacher Bigu Qingjuro: "Sword is a murder weapon, and swordsmanship is murder. No matter how beautiful words are used to cover up, this is the ugly reality after all." "In order to change this chaotic world, You can only join one of the forces, in other words, you will be used by power."
The first part of "Rurouni Kenshin", the New Deal wins, the arms dealer destroys the door, and the former Lio Utang Blade Guard invites the battle. Jianxin had to go out of the mountain. In the second part, the old enemy Shizhixiong burns Kyoto, and the New Deal threatens him to seduce rape. Jianxin had to face the enemy. The third part, Zhizhixiong warships force the palace, the New Deal strategy step by step. Jianxin had to challenge. It is easy for the strong to spy on the fate's helplessness. And in desperation, it was prolonged powerlessness and fruitless.
The director Otomo Kishi once said how to adapt it better: "Neither betray the expectations of fans, but also keep a certain distance from the original." This is very clever. In the original comics, the author used more pen and ink to carefully sort out the changing human nature, and pieced together an indisputable new world and old world with complex human nature like branches. And the film weakens the complexity of the characters. It appeals to the powerful and uncontestable destiny, let us watch the strong hero being crushed by the great wheel of the times. These seem to be two stories, but they are in the same vein: the life of a hero in troubled times is destined to be tragic.

The current "Ren Zhu Pian" is the lowest score in the series, 7.6. Such disappointment is not without reason.
Fans who have watched the first few movies must have the same feeling: "Ren Zhu Pian" is not as good as "Kyoto Pian". "Kyoto" is the one in "Rurouni Kenshin" with the most appearances and the most intense conflict. Most importantly, it has the most attractive villain, Zhizhixiong.
Zhizhixiong, the younger generation of Kenshin Himura, is also a shadow killer recruited by the New Deal. But it is different from the New Deal’s reliance on Jianxin. They were full of jealousy for Zhizhixiong. He was afraid of leaking the New Deal scandal, and he was afraid of his uncontrollable ambitions. As a result, the New Deal issued a secret order: beheaded and burned. They thought that Zhizhixiong had been eliminated. As everyone knows, he planted a bad result for himself.
Zhizhixiong, who was reborn from the evil fire, soared. Jianxin teamed up with the other three to fight with him, but still couldn't get the upper hand.
In the end, it was Zhizhixiong's 15-minute spontaneous BUG that ended this hopeless fight.
Before his death, Zhi Zhixiong knelt down and said to Jian Xin who was on the side of the New Deal: "It's just that the age has chosen you." From beginning to end, Zhi Zhixiong knew that he couldn't complain about Jian Xin . What he hates is the chaotic world that turns people into ghosts. Not only him, but the former Udou Bladeguard in the story, Yuting Ban Cangzi, and Smile Shura Sojiro are all like this. They are all victims of the times and stepping stones to politics. Warriors who cannot survive in the new era. Dispose of after use.
The Bushido spirit once gave this group of warriors their belief: "Death without nostalgia, death without scruple, death without hesitation." They thought that the nobility of the samurai was still inviolable. They thought that the dignity of the shogunate was still not to be profaned. But Bushido has fallen. Love and justice are dead. They all know it, but they don't want to believe it.
It was an era of collapse and reconstruction of faith.
Everyone is facing a huge and unsolvable confusion.
When the rule of the weak and the strong prevails, society degenerates.
Japan was plunged into the militarism that followed the madness of the whole people.
If we say that between Jianxin and the "Zhizhixiongs", there is a huge question of the times. Then the relationship between him and Xuedai fate is an emotional summary of personal bondage. The convergence of perspective will inevitably lead to a weaker sense of strength in "Ren Zhu Pian".
"Ren Zhu Pian" explains why the cross knife scar mark on Jian Xin's face comes from, and also brings out Jian Xin's previous life. In the first three parts, Jianxin has been stuck in the past, only because he has a knot in his heart -Xuedaiba. Jianxin killed her beloved Xuedaiba by mistake. This scene happened to be seen by Xuedai's brother Xuedaiyuan. Since then, he has vowed to avenge his sister. As an adult, Xuedaiyuan has become a strong man who is not defeated by Jianxin.
He decided to implement "human punishment". That is, "If God does not impose punishment, I will also impose sanctions."
A battle of emotions, family and country that Jianxin must face, should be wonderful. However, I always feel that something is wrong. Fans who have seen the original comics should feel more deeply about this. Xuedaiyuan only needs to find Jianxin to get revenge. Why does he want to destroy Tokyo with all his strength? And, in the battle between Yukidai-kin and Kenshin, why did he decide to save Kenshin's girlfriend Kaoru Kamiya in the end?
There is no logical motivation, so that the characters and plot have lost their charm. There is only one reason for all this: film cuts. The film gave up explaining how Xuedaiyuan stepped into paranoia, how to magnify anger, and hate the society that killed his sister. And an important scene in the original book: Kaoru Kamiya suspended animation. Yukiyoyo made up the image of Kaoru Kamiya's suspended animation, and carved the "corpse" with a cross knife scar exactly the same as Kenshin. This scene was shocking and controversial. But it does not deny that it is a punishment for Jian Xin. It is also a detailed portrayal of Xue Daiyuan's cruel temperament.
Similarly, the movie also deletes the interaction between the two after Yukidairen’s kidnapping Kaoru Kamiya. It was precisely because of this time that Yukiyodai saw his sister's shadow in Kaoru Kamiya, and his heart was slightly unfrozen. This also became the reason why Yukidai fate could not bear Kaoru Kamiya's death.
Xuedaiyuan's reasons for revenge and change have all been deleted. The anger that caused him to erupt all lost ground. It can be said that the failure of "Ren Zhu Pian" and the Chengdu of "Kyoto Pian" lies in one point: whether it has created a complex villain.
It is undeniable that the final fight was wonderful. It's not just a kill scene with one enemy and one hundred. What's more, the heroes of the first three movies gathered here.
They fought side by side, handing their backs to Jian Xin without any consideration. They believe that Jianxin is their new world. That scene was the reconciliation of the times.
Today, there is still the last "Remembrance" in the final chapter. This one is called the essence of "Rurouni Kenshin". At the recent Shanghai Film Festival, all five parts of "Rurouni Kenshin" were screened. Fans who grabbed the tickets saw "Remembrance" first and scored high. In this way, "Remembrance" gave Jianxin a happy ending to everyone.
